    Space junk in Earth's orbit may increase because of the effects of the same heat-trapping gases that are polluting the air and warming the planet, according to a recent study. What's happening? A team led by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers determined that, with Earth's warming, space debris could accumulate enough to reduce the low Earth orbit area available for satellites by between a third and 82% by the year 2100, as the Associated Press detailed. The reason for this, per the study published in Nature Sustainability in March, is that climatic changes high above ground could reduce the effectiveness...

    Can’t forget this scumbag fast enough. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/31/biden-transgender-day-of-visibility-trump-republicansA Joe Biden White House spokesperson said Republicans who have spent the Easter weekend criticizing the president for declaring Sunday’s annual Transgender Day of Visibility “are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful and dishonest rhetoric”. “As a Christian who celebrates Easter with family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American,” the White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said. “President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit.” Bates’ statement came as the president faced criticism from the campaign...
  • Bone box of Jesus' brother discovered in Israel

    A 2,000-year-old bone box etched with the name of Jesus' brother discovered in Israel is now on display in the US. The limestone box, or ossuary, features the inscription 'James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus,' written in ancient Aramaic. Because the names correspond to those of Jesus of Nazareth's brother and father, many speculate that the box once held the remains of James the Just, the first leader of Christians in Jerusalem after the crucifixion.

    Shocking bodycam footage revealed the moment Texas police officers shot a man in the head with pepper bullets as he sat on the grass outside of a cemetery. Guadalupe County officers were seen in the footage on June 27, 2021, approaching now 44-year-old Ronald Smith, who was sat cross-legged on the grass, with weapons held out in front of them pointed at Smith. Smith's attorney, Andres Cano, told DailyMail.com: 'He's waiting for his wife to come get him and he sees this [guy] running across with a gun pointed at him, yelling shrieking, shouting.' 'Within ten seconds, another one rolls...
  • [Dennis] Prager: On the argument that we shouldn’t be aiding a corrupt country

    I have supported aiding Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. I don’t understand conservatives who want America to watch Russia crush an independent country. That is not the America I thought conservatism embraced. At the same time, the opponents of aid to Ukraine do make valid points. For example, America should not seek regime change in Russia; peace should be pursued as vigorously as war; and compromises — such as an agreement that Ukraine does not apply for NATO membership, at least for a specified amount of time — will be necessary. But there is one argument made by...

  • Trump's $5 Billion Wall Is a Waste—Here's What We Could Spend It on Instead (2019 flashback)

    02/18/2025 1:24:58 PM PST · by MNDude · 47 replies
    this is a fight most Americans didn’t want—and it’s over a wall most Americans don’t want, either. Americans are largely pro-immigration; three-quarters of us believe that immigration is a good thing. And two out of three Americans think that immigration should either stay at its current level, or increase. More importantly, one survey found that more than half of Americans don’t want a new wall, or any broad security barrier at the border. In another survey, 40% of Americans polled chose the president backing down and accepting the $1.6 billion Democrats have already offered for border security as the most...

    The collapse of the 20th-century media pyramid on which Lippmann’s assumptions rested, and its rapid replacement by monopoly social media platforms, made it possible for the Obama White House to sell policy—and reconfigure social attitudes and prejudices—in new ways. ... the term “echo chambers” to describe the process by which the White House and its wider penumbra of think tanks and NGOs generated an entirely new class of experts who credentialed each other on social media in order to advance assertions that would formerly have been seen as marginal or not credible, thereby overwhelming the efforts of traditional subject-area gatekeepers...
  • Danish king changes coat of arms amid row with Trump over Greenland Design shows intent to keep control of Faroe Islands and Greenland – which Trump says he would like the US to buy

    The Danish king has shocked some historians by changing the royal coat of arms to more prominently feature Greenland and the Faroe Islands – in what has also been seen as a rebuke to Donald Trump. Less than a year since succeeding his mother, Queen Margrethe, after she stood down on New Year’s Eve 2023, King Frederik has made a clear statement of intent to keep the autonomous Danish territory and former colony within the kingdom of Denmark.

    Forget about Disney princesses. Mickey Mouse might have just proved who’s the real king of Florida. The Walt Disney Co. used a legal clause that name checks King Charles III to apparently thwart Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ attempt to strip the company of its self-governance power in the state. For nearly a year, state legislators, encouraged by DeSantis, have sought to exert more control over the company’s Florida-based theme parks by passing a bill that would dissolve Disney’s special tax district. DeSantis also wanted to rename the area the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and plant a new board of...

    A pizza delivery worker has been charged with pushing her way into a motel room with an accomplice and stabbing a pregnant woman in front of her five-year-old daughter after a dispute over a lousy tip. Brianna Alvelo, 22, was charged with stabbing the woman in her motel room in Kissimmee, Florida, a short time after delivering a pizza to her on Sunday, according to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office. The woman gave Alvelo $50 on a $33.10 bill, expecting to receive $16.90 in change back. When Alvelo started walking away, the woman asked for money back, but the pizza...

    President Joe Biden believes he would have defeated President-elect Donald Trump in November if his party had not pressured him to step aside, he told USA Today‘s Susan Page. Biden, 82, whom Special Counsel David Hur characterized as an elderly man with a poor memory, does not appear to remember the depths of his sinking campaign. Biden dropped out of the race following a poor debate performance that caused his polling and support among allies to tank. Several states considered solid blue, such as New Hampshire and Virginia, were showing signs of leaning toward Trump, an unfathomable downward trajectory that...

Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) filed a motion to “censure, condemn, and fine” Rep. Schiff (D-CA) for pushing Russia-gate even after the Durham Report concluded the federal investigation into alleged Trump-Russia links had been baseless and biased..Schiff is renowned for telling outright lies in an effort to destabilize a sitting...

    It has been seven years since Sam Francis died. But the years since his death merely show the accuracy of his insights. Francis’s writing was marked not only by loyalty to the people from whom he came but by an unswerving devotion to telling the truth about the way the world really is, not the way he wished it to be. Francis knew that it was not “morning again in America” but far closer to midnight. Conservatives could not hope to achieve anything by defending elites, as conservatives have done since the French Revolution, since today’s elites are implacably hostile...

    Kurt H. Becker, a professor in the Department of Applied Physics and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and WeiDong Zhu, a research associate professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, are helping develop a new colloidal gold test strip for cardiac troponin I (cTn-I) detection. The new strip uses microplasma-generated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and shows much higher detection sensitivity than conventional test strips. The new cTn-I test is based on the specific immune-chemical reactions between antigen and antibody on immunochromatographic test strips using AuNPs. Compared to AuNPs produced by traditional chemical methods, the surfaces of the...
